I made a few alterations and doubled the recipe, it was a hit! I omitted the bread cubes and added shredded cheddar towards the end of baking. I used imitation crab and shrimp, another time shrimp & scallops all was very good.

My family says this recipe is a keeper. I used all shrimp since that is our favorite sea food and it was delicious.

The family loved this. I used lobster, crab, and shrimp. Next time I will leave out the bread, it doesn't need it.

OMG this was sooooo good! I made this for my sister's birthday and I DOUBLED it, we love leftovers. I used two pounds of shrimp and a pound of bay scallops and no crab meat. I also cooked extra rice which I added after adding all the other ingredients.

Excellent!

On my second attempt, I added about one-half pound browned andouille sausage. It was even better if that's possible!

use 1 pint of half and half instead of 3/4c

also, use crushed ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs for topping
